What's worse than a cockroach (no offense, Jade)? An opalescent cockroach, of course. But there's nothing extraordinary going on here, just something ugly (and wonderful, for you bugophiles). When a cockroach molts it becomes white for about 12 hours before its exoskeleton can harden properly.

The last time I molted (sun-sunscreen=burn), I turned a bright red. But after a couple days I settled into a nice, computer-glare pasty white.

So...white means squishy? Okay, gotta find them at this time to flatten them. (Sorry all you bugophiles. In all actuality I've seen very few cockroaches in real life *knock on wood* let's keep it that way!)
